pn946. Papua New Guinea landslide disaster: at least 2,000 dead

At least 2,000 people   have been killed in a major landslide in the remote Highlands province of Enga 600 km NW of the capital Port Moresby when the side of a mountain collapsed on Friday.  Aid rushed to the area is impeded by nearby tribal fighting. This article provides a good coverage while this article provides some additional detail.


Meanwhile, in the capital, it is unclear whether the existing government will remain in power.  A  vote of confidence in parliament today could see PM Marape toppled.
